The white wines of Puligny-Montrachet are probably the most famous and most widely acclaimed in the world and Domaine Etienne Sauzet is made up of 26 acres, much of it in the heart of the premier crus vineyards. From the 1er cru Pertuisots vineyard in Beaune, this over-delivers in quality for the price. It’s what to drink while you wait for your Puligny-Montrachet to mature. There is brilliantl minerality to nose along with cistrus zest, a creamy mouthfeel creamy and a long, layered finish.

91pts Wine Advocate– 2017 vintage

“The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Les Pertuisots offers up a
pretty nose of crisp green orchard fruit, citrus zest,
blanched almonds and fresh peach. On the palate, it’s
medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive,
with good depth at the core, racy acids and a delicately
chalky finish. This is a classy, beautifully balanced
Pertuisots that isn’t as rich and sun-kissed as some of
Sauzet’s more dramatic cuvées this year.”

92pts Wine Spectator– 2017 vintage

“A lean, racy style, this delivers lemon tart, apple
and chalky, mineral notes. Mouthwatering and long
on the finish. Drink now through 2024.”
